It was about a year ago that I was at Mt. Rainier National Park. What a great visit. Such inspiring views.

From the few posts I have on the sopranino in Mt. Rainier Park, I have quite a few people visiting. I assume they are trying to decide if they should get a sopranino of their own.

Study in Contrast II

If you at all think you would like this tiny ukulele, then you should get one. It is a great price for a small travel ukulele with a big sound.

Now that I have played and traveled with the sopranino, I don’t know why I even debated having it. If you want one, don’t delay. Get it. You will really enjoy it.

No, I don’t work for the company and yes, I bought my own sopranino.

I loaned my sopranino to my sister in hopes that she would discover the joys of playing the ukulele. But I am going to trade it with another ukulele when I next see her. I miss the sopranino. For small hands it is a dream. For the price it is just right.

The tone and sound is great for such a small ukulele. There are larger ukuleles that don’t sound quite as good as the sopranino. This uke is a little charmer.

Hi Donna
I bought the Ohana sopranino. I have short fingers — could never get them around a guitar neck and really had trouble with bar chords. The sopranino is tuned re-entrant which is high G, C, E, A. No you don’t have to tune them higher. You would play the same chords as a guitar in a group — except the fingerings are different for the chords. If you have small hands, you’ll love the sopranino.

Thanks for this information. I really appreciate it and think I’ll go ahead and get one (my Christmas present!). Since I’ll be taking group lessons, that tuning business was my big concern. I couldn’t play guitars either due to mouse-paw hands, so I’m glad there’s something for us that isn’t a toy.

The sopranino is tuned just like the soprano ukulele (and the concert and tenor). The C tuning, GCEA is the same octave or if you prefer to use the D tuning that is ADF#B. My Ohana sopranino (tuned high G,C,E,A) plays loud enough and with a good tone, as a smaller uke would go. The only difference is the fretboard is smaller. This is great for me as I have small hands.

I love my Ohana sopranino. I changed the strings in favour of Worth brown strings and have tuned mine to Low G (using a D classical guitar sting) It sounds great.
So Low G on a Sopranino, what an experiment!
